Cation and Inorganic Ion Assays

Cations are inorganic ions that carry a positive charge. They are found in solution in the cytoplasm and body fluids of organisms, and play a role in various biochemical processes. Cations can be measured using assays that measure their charge density or electrophoretic mobility. Cation assays are used to measure the concentration of cations in a sample. These assays are important for determining the health of an organism, as abnormal concentrations of cations can cause diseases. Cations are essential for life, and so their concentration must be carefully monitored. Cation assays help us to do this.
